Job Description:

We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Staff Software Engineer to lead a new team dedicated to stabilizing and modernizing our Offline Testing Infrastructure (OTI). OTI is a critical, shared middle-layer infrastructure that underpins our PR testing, test creation, and Verification & Validation (V&V) efforts. This is a high-impact, high-urgency role focused on improving the velocity of our engineering teams and the reliability of our release cycles. The successful candidate will build and lead a small, focused team to transition OTI to a stable, performant, and scalable platform.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead the OTI Team: Serve as the technical lead (TL) for the OTI team within PIE-Compute, driving the strategic vision, execution, and long-term stability of the core infrastructure
  • Help Define and Optimize the Testing Ecosystem: Lead the design of the next-generation offline testing architecture to meet diverse team needs, reducing redundancy and siloing across the organization
  • Partner with Test Creation and Test Drive teams to standardize end-to-end test execution and reporting (Creation -> Execution -> Reporting)
  • Refine the full test lifecycle to ensure performance and scalability, and maintain clear attribution of failures to enhance reliability and efficient debugging
  • Own Critical OTI Components and Migrations: Take ownership of the shared OTI components, including maintenance and on-call support
  • Own various offline test Modalities, including step code, workflow code, and general health
  • Lead the maintenance and development of common OTI tooling, including launching test evaluations, polling APIs, communicating results, and providing recommended pipeline templates
  • Establish Architecture and Best Practices: Define and enforce data management policies for the testing ecosystem (storage, lifecycling, write strategies, data integrity, and lineage)
  • Define use cases and feature design for new test modalities, including single versus cross-modality testing strategies
  • Manage incidents related to offline tests and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for PRs, local workflows, V&V, and releases
  • Act as a Center of Excellence: Serve as a subject matter expert for optimizing the architecture and performance of Aurora's largest compute use case (offline testing), and provide high-value consulting/architecture support to adjacent teams

Requirements:

  • Senior or Staff-level experience (P7 equivalent) as a Software Engineer, ideally in infrastructure, developer tooling, or critical shared services
  • Proven experience leading technical projects and mentoring/directing other engineers
  • Familiarity with distributed compute technologies, cloud services (e.g., AWS), and large-scale workflow management systems
  • Demonstrated ability to triage, debug, and perform on-call and incident management for complex, cross-cutting infrastructure issues
  • Strong communication skills to manage stakeholder alignment and drive cross-team standardization efforts
What we offer:
  • annual bonus
  • equity compensation
  • benefits
